This Switch 2 pick your game bundle is mainly attractive because it lets you choose a first party game for about $50 over console MSRP, which still lands below buying the pieces separately. The bundle gets even better when paired with discounted Nintendo eShop cards from Costco or other sources, with reported totals around $441 to $467 after tax and cash back. The main caveat is that better clearance or membership deals have existed at Sam's Club, Costco, and Woot, but those were limited, store dependent, or no longer available. A solid value if you can stack discounts or want a specific launch game.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes, Nintendo account gift card balance can be applied to Switch 2 hardware checkout on Nintendo's site. Costco-discounted eShop cards have been used to lower the bundle price, though one report says the balance did not apply in a later checkout attempt, so the safest approach is to confirm at payment before relying on it.

  • At $499.99, the bundle effectively prices the console at its $450 MSRP and the included game at about $50, while first-party Nintendo games are listed at $70. That makes it a solid value if you want one of the included titles, though prior clearance and membership deals at Costco, Sam's Club, and Woot were cheaper when available.

  • Buying discounted eShop cards can bring the bundle down meaningfully: one breakdown puts the net at about $441 plus tax after Costco's 10% off cards and a $9 year-end rebate, and another reports getting the pick-your-game bundle for $467 after taxes. Third-party gift cards were also used to bring a base Switch 2 from about $480 with tax to roughly $400 in gift-card spend.

  • Yes, but only when those retailer deals are active and in stock. Reported examples include a Sam's Club Mario Kart bundle around $410 after tax, a Sam's clearance bundle under $375 plus tax, and a Woot deal around $400 for the console or about $450 with Mario Kart, all of which were limited-time or clearance offers.

  • Some shoppers are buying now to avoid a possible increase and to lock in the current bundle price. The deal is being treated as a FOMO purchase, especially for people who want the new Mario Kart and do not want to wait for a later restock or higher price.

Only comparable price I've seen was switch online expansion included along with Mario kart for around $530 I believe, but this was around last year holiday shopping

I have a switch 2 but honestly would sell it for $300 and pay $600 for a OLED model. Don't quite get why Nintendo doesn't want more money. Give the people that want to pay more what they want.
are they coming out with an OLED switch 2?

500 for a portable console is hard for many to swallow. 600 is even harder, LED panel or not.

The fact that people are saying this is a "good deal" since prices are set to increase for a system that's a year old is insane.

Has there been any word as to whether this will be available from any other source (Costco, Target, Walmart, etc)?

They are the reason prices increase so much more than inflation.
